I was just explaining SAP to someone last night and amused myself by realizing how many times I had to add, "no, it's a little more complicated than that."

Intuit, Microsoft, and the like all missed this one big time. Mint realized that EVERYONE wants two things: 1. to keep track of their money, especially these days, and 2. they want it to be easy. Mint does both. No one else does. Plus, Mint is so easy to use and beautiful. Who wouldn't want to use it? Your can set it up, forget about it, and it still works perfectly. Every other solution requires work and time. I'm not surprised at their fast growth; I'm surprised they're not growing 10x as fast. They will. Word gets around. Everyone I've told about it raves about it. I have never even heard of someone referring people to Quicken or Microsoft Money. No reason. Mint? Well, the numbers speak for themselves.
